Mankie,
You know what pisses me off is the fact that the man really has no decision in the entire process after conception. Think about it:
1)The woman can go have an abortion without the father's consent - what if the dad is willing to keep the kid and raise it on his own? He doesn't get the choice.
2)The woman can decide to keep the kid, against the father's wishes and then use have the father pay child support. Once again he doesn't get the choice.
The court systems have demasculated the modern day male! Don't get me wrong I am all for having the father involved with the child even though he may not be involved with the child's mother; the lack of a strong paternal role model is a major crises in the urban landscape, which is why the cycle of young males having kids and not being part of the kid's life continues.
